Glaminatrix Into the Night Palette is a new, vivid eyeshadow palette that includes a mix of shimmers and mattes that debuted this past weekend. It sold out quickly, but more inventory will be available in three weeks. Here are swatches in case you were planning on making an order!
Glaminatrix Nearly Natural 15-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($48.50 for 0.8 oz.) is a new, muted neutral color story that included 15 eyeshadows with eight shimmery shades and seven matte shades. The shimmers were really smooth, emollient without being too looseyl-pressed, and pigmented with good adhesion and wear. The mattes were incredibly velvety and dense, not quite as powdery as Glaminatrix’s formula, but still beautifully blendable and very pigmented. Naked Eye is a bright, medium-dark peach with moderate, warm undertones–slightly rosy–paired with a sparkling, high-shine metallic finish. Opaque pigmentation Smooth, lightly creamy texture Not too dense, not too loosely-pressed Applied evenly and Continue Reading…
Glaminatrix Nocturnal 12-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($55.00 for 0 oz.) was originally available as an pre-made eyeshadow palette but is now only available by purchasing the shades individually. Worth noting, a lot of folks had issues with the shimmery shades breaking (part of why the palette was discontinued in its original form), even though the brand seemed to be trying to take care of everyone who had issues (refunds, replacements, and so on). Go figure that mine, which was part of the early batches, arrived intact! I feel like I’m more often the recipient of broken powders, LOL! The shimmers are Continue Reading…
Glaminatrix Camel Matte Eyeshadow ($7.30 for 0.07 oz.) is a soft, peachy orange with warm, yellow undertones and a matte finish. The texture was smooth, velvety, and more substantial, but it was quite powdery in the pan; I was surprised that it wasn’t prone to sheering out when I applied it to my lid. The eyeshadow had opaque coverage when applied to bare skin and blended out well with only light fallout during the initial laydown of color. Glaminatrix Butterscotch Matte Eyeshadow ($7.30 for 0.07 oz.) is a darker, warm yellow with a matte finish. It was richly pigmented with Continue Reading…
Glaminatrix Rosewood Matte Eyeshadow ($7.30 for 0.064 oz.) is a deep red with strong, warm brown undertones and a matte finish. It was intensely pigmented where a little went a long way, so when combined with the more powdery texture, it was imperative to use a very light hand when picking up the product. The texture was finely-milled and smooth, which kept fallout to a minimal during application despite the powdery texture. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly. Glaminatrix Desire Matte Pressed Pigment ($7.30 for 0.064 oz.) is a brighter, plummy red with warm Continue Reading…
